"You wouldn't hire a CEO to run a troubled company if they won't tell you how they're going to fix the major problem," said Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
Yet that's exactly what's occurring with the most important chief executive job in the world: U.S. president.
Either Barack Obama or his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, will face a fiscal nightmare: a sluggish economy, a massive tax increase, meat-ax spending reductions, the expiration of extended jobless benefits, and a debt ceiling that imperils the faith and credit of the U.S.
Both candidates, though especially Romney, are calculating they can avoid specifics and focus on the other guy's deficiencies.
MacGuineas' group is launching a "Fix the Debt" campaign with a bipartisan collection of politicians, business leaders and economists to focus on the need for a comprehensive debt deal. The co-chairmen will be former Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell and former New Hampshire Republican Sen. Judd Gregg.
If Obama and Romney believe this is a big-stakes election, here's how they could show it: Challenge their opponent to present, by Sept. 15, a broad-based, specific budget and tax deficit-reduction plan so Americans can compare and contrast and discuss and debate before they vote.
The starting point should be the Bowles-Simpson deficit-reduction plan of 2010. It commanded bipartisan support, and Obama and Romney, while eschewing the specifics, praise it conceptually.
It calls for a $4 trillion deficit reduction over 10 years, achieved through about $1 trillion in higher taxes, $2.5 trillion in spending cuts and a $500 billion savings in debt servicing.
A new proposal should target a $5 trillion reduction because by September, the plan will be almost 2 years old and it assumed the expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts for high-income earners.
Obama and Romney can offer any mix of spending or entitlement cuts or taxes as long as they're specific.
One caveat: Given the weakness of the economy, no provisions would take effect for a year, so the target decade is 2014-23.
The president appointed the Bowles-Simpson commission and has yet to embrace its recommendations. He's justifiably criticized by business leaders such as Wilbur Ross who said "it's very sad" that Obama "totally backed away." That's the stuff of legitimate Republican ads in the fall.
As Obama administration officials note, the president has put out a long-term deficit-reduction plan. Yet this proposal contains gimmicks: Once, it roughly mirrored Bowles-Simpson numbers, but over 12 years, and with much less overall debt reduction. Another time, the administration included the $1 trillion savings from ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which already had been counted.
On the tax side, the president would get about halfway to his goal by eliminating cuts for the wealthy. He has been vague about other revenue raisers. "You can't get enough money by just taxing corporate jets or millionaires," MacGuineas said.
White House officials insist Obama is willing to curb long-term spending on Medicare and Social Security. They have provided few details.
The Romney arithmetic is more problematic. If Ross is "sad" about Obama's evasion of Bowles-Simpson, he should be depressed about Romney's praise for the concept of the debt-commission recommendations while rejecting most of the specifics.
Romney has promised to reduce federal spending to 20 percent of gross domestic product in 10 years – from 24 percent now – while raising defense spending by about $2 trillion. He advocates $5 trillion of tax cuts: lowering the top individual rate to 28 percent from 35 percent, eliminating the estate tax, cutting capital-gains and dividend taxes, and lowering the corporate rate.
The numbers don't add up. The candidate says he'd offset the tax cuts by closing loopholes that help the rich, and wouldn't touch middle-class write-offs such as the deductions for home-mortgage payments or charitable contributions.
There isn't a tax expert who thinks that's possible. The Romney campaign's answer: We're not going to say anything until after the election. Thus, it's fair to run ads this fall asserting that Romney won't say if he's going to take away the home-mortgage deduction.
Even aside from a tax drain, the defense increase Romney proposes means he would need draconian cuts in entitlements and domestic spending to meet his balanced-budget pledge.
Democrats say he would dismantle Medicare and Social Security. Obama says Romney would threaten millions of student loans, hundreds of thousands of kids might be denied early-education programs, and there'd be thousands fewer grants for research on Alzheimer's disease and cancer.
Republicans reply this is demagogy, while stonewalling any specifics. "Romney wants to cap spending at 20 percent of GDP," MacGuineas said, "but he doesn't want us to find out how he's going to get there until after he's elected."
If both candidates lay out a broad budget, there could be a debate over defense spending versus expenditures on health research or student loans, or tax cuts for investors and estates versus deeper cutbacks in Medicare. Listening to their rhetoric, both Obama and Romney should welcome that debate.

The developers have finally issued an update on Terraria: Otherworld. Basically they felt the game needed a rework as it wasn't up to their standards, hence the delay. They can't give a current date for when the game will be finished as there is a lot of work to do still, the post very much sounds like they took a lot of it back to the drawing board.
Anyway here are some new screens, I think aesthetic wise it looks really good. I didn't realise they were putting tower defence stuff into the game though, not sure how I feel about that as I really dislike that gameplay mechanic.

Early Treatment for MalocclusionSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Growth modification (early treatment) is part of the first phase of two-stage orthodontic treatment of children withmalocclusion(poor bite). Growth modification is only possible when bones are still growing. It is most effective during children's growth spurts.
Orthodontists use growth modification devices (appliances) to change the position, shape, length, or width of the jawbone(s). Some common devices are:
- Headgear, an appliance that uses pressure to guide teeth and jaw growth.
- Herbst, an appliance attached to the upper and lower molars that corrects overbite caused by a small lower jaw.
- Bionator, a removable appliance that guides teeth and jaw growth.
- Palatal expander, an appliance that corrects cross bite by widening the upper jaw.
What to think about
Ideal timing of treatment varies depending on what the condition is, when adult teeth come in, and how much growth is needed to correct the malocclusion. Many children who begin growth modification in second or third grade are finished with orthodontic treatment before they begin high school.
Children are often more cooperative than teenagers when it comes to wearing their appliances for a certain number of hours a day. And children don't seem to mind closer parental supervision as much as teens do. But the parent and the health professional must also beware of "burning out" the child on treatment before the second stage of treatment-braces-begins.
Because the jaw continues to grow during childhood and adolescence, growth modification doesn't always last. Some teens and adults keep their new jaw structure and size, while others have short-lived improvement. Relapse can also occur after treatment with braces alone.

Our "Planet X-treme Weather" page takes you on a tour of the nasty weather on other planets and moons in the solar system. Thank goodness we only have to worry about Earth's weather, right?
Weather Within Weather
Our star—the Sun—is a bubbling, boiling ball of fire. See Picture 1 to the right. It constantly belches out great clouds of hot gas. This gas is all charged up with electricity, too. This stuff travels at astounding speeds, some of it right toward Earth! This means that Earth's weather happens inside the Sun's weather!
Thank goodness Earth's magnetic field (see Picture 2) and atmosphere protect us from most of this blast. Otherwise, the Sun's weather would be OUR weather. Yikes!
However, we are still affected by the Sun's atmosphere and its violent activities. We call this part of our weather "space weather," because it comes to us through space from the Sun.
Winds 10,000 times faster than hurricanes!
The solar wind blows at about 600,000 to 2,000,000—that's two million—miles per hour! The solar wind flows around obstacles, such as planets and moons. However, if a planet has a magnetic field, as Earth does, the charged particles flow around the magnetic field. The solar wind pushes on the magnetic field, flattening it on the side facing the Sun, and pushing it out into a long tail on the opposite side. See the Picture 3 video.
You can't see Earth's magnetic lines of force. But if you have ever used a compass to find which way is north, you have seen one effect of these lines of force. The compass needle lines up right alongside the lines of force, which come out of the Earth's magnetic South Pole and enter Earth's magnetic North Pole. See Picture 4.
Where Space Weather is Beautiful
The solar wind follows the magnetic lines of force. Some of the charged particles flow right down into Earth's atmosphere near the Poles. When these charged particles hit Earth's atmosphere, they glow in beautiful shades of green and red. Notice the glow near the Poles in the Picture 3 video.
We call these glowing colors the Northern Lights and Southern Lights, or the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis. They are beautiful curtains of light that move and sway in the night sky. Usually, you can see them only if you live somewhat close to the North or South Pole, far from the equator. See Pictures 5 and 6.
Sometimes you can see the auroras far from the North or South Poles. Picture 7 is a map that shows how likely you are on a certain day to see the Northern Lights from any location in the Northern Hemisphere. Areas colored yellow are more likely to see it than areas colored blue. Sometimes the map looks very different, with the yellow area much larger.
Here It Comes!
But sometimes the Sun gets extra restless. It has "solar indigestion!" These sudden and intense hiccups and burps are called solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The effects of these types of space weather are not so pretty! As a matter of fact, they can be very bad for humans and their equipment.
A solar flare happens when the Sun suddenly burps out a blast of extra energy. Some of this energy is very "high-energy" energy called X-rays. CMEs are even bigger burps. CMEs are the biggest explosions in the solar system. See Picture 8.
When all these X-rays and charged particles reach Earth, they cause trouble.
Quick, Where Can We Hide?
"Bad space weather" can interrupt radio signals. It can damage satellites. Ships at sea might not be able to use navigation equipment that relies on satellites. Also, their two-way radios might not work. They could get lost or run aground in shallow water.
Electrical systems that bring power to our homes and business can be knocked out by this "bad space weather" too.
And what about the astronauts living in the International Space Station or on a Space Shuttle mission? The Space Station and Shuttle have radiation shielding built in. But the astronauts certainly would not go out "space walking" during bad space weather. The extra radiation could make them sick.
Even airplane crew members can be affected if they often fly over the North Pole. More radiation from space weather events comes down into the atmosphere near the Poles.
If Only We Had Some Warning!
Just as we need early warnings about hurricanes, tornadoes, and other bad weather, having early warnings of bad space weather helps keep damage to a minimum.
That is why the GOES (short for Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) has a Solar X-ray Imager and other instruments to measure the space environment. A new generation of satellites called the GOES-R series will have even better space weather instruments. These special telescopes can detect X-rays (which our eyes cannot). (See Picture 9 for a video.) Every minute they take a picture of the Sun using X-rays. They give space weather forecasters information that helps them to warn others of solar events that could harm satellites and systems on the ground. See illustrations of GOES in Picture 10 and a GOES-R series satellite in Picture 11.
The main job of GOES and the GOES-R series is to watch what the weather is up to on Earth.
Another type of satellite that monitors space weather is the POES (short for Polar-orbiting OperationalEnvironmental Satellite). See Picture 12. The POES keep an eye on Earth's climate, but also monitor the energy entering Earth's atmosphere by charged particles from the Sun. Picture 7 is an example of what can be done with this POES data.
Find out more about the GOES and GOES-R series, and read about the bad weather on other planets too.

The annual event, held in the Farm Show Complex and Expo Center at North Cameron and Maclay streets through Jan. 12, has gained recognition as the largest indoor agricultural exposition in the country.
Pennsylvanians are gearing up for the 97th annual farm show, which kicks off next Saturday, Jan. 5.
The annual event, held in the Farm Show Complex and Expo Center at North Cameron and Maclay streets through Jan. 12, has gained recognition as the largest indoor agricultural exposition in the country.
Visitors to the Farm Show will experience year's theme of "Made in Pa. It makes a difference," and enjoy seeing nearly 6,000 animals, 10,000 competitive exhibits and 300 commercial exhibits.
New to the show
Visitors of all ages can experience a plethora of new exhibits, demonstrations, and food for 2013, in addition to the all-time favorites such as the high school rodeo and the annual fashion show.
This year, Pennsylvania's wines will be highlighted, with the "Great Grape Stomp." The stomp will include two barefoot celebrity teams competing for top vintner honors. Audience members will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite team and enter to win a winery tour. Additionally, a new tasting and display area featuring Pennsylvania wines will be held in the Main Hall.
The "Sport of Kings" — more commonly referred to as polo, a sport played on horseback, will be making an appearance for the first time at the 2013 Pennsylvania Farm Show. Visitors can witness a polo demonstration at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 10, in the Equine Arena.
Other new events include judging contests for old-fashioned fudge, cupcakes, and honey products including sauces, beverages and salad dressings.
The Junior Breeding Beef Supreme Champion Pageant will recognize young beef farmers and their prize-winning cattle, as well.
Farm Show facts
More than 400,000 people attend the week-long farm show each year, which is housed under 24-acres of roofing.
One of the biggest draws each year, especially for the youngsters, is seeing the nearly 6,000 sheep, pigs, horses, cows, goats, rabbits and poultry birds that are showcased and compete in competitions throughout the week.
Last year, $35,200 was raised during the 4-H and the Future Farmers of America Sale of Champions, which included the grand and reserve grand champion beef, sheep, pig and goat winners, according to the farm show website.
Another huge draw at the farm show is the delicious, mouth watering food that can be purchased. Each year, more than 140,000 milkshakes, 22,500 dozen potato doughnuts, 8,400 apple dumplings, 14,000 slices of PA Preferred pizza, 33,500 chicken nuggets, 11,000 Strawberry Surprise drinks and 750 gallons of honey ice cream are sold and consumed.
Visitors can also take a spin on the 61-year-old art deco merry-go-round that includes 30 horses and two chariot seats for a mere $2 ticket.
For those looking to add some educational fun into a Farm Show trip, there will be 28 learning stations on hand that are specifically designed to teach kids about agriculture.

Simmons stresses student success strategies at LU convocation
While tackling challenges resulting from state funding cuts, Lamar University remains steadfast in its commitment to the success of its students, President James Simmons told faculty and staff attending the annual back-to-school convocation.
"Our mission is higher-education instruction and scholarship with a commitment to high quality," Simmons said Monday (Aug. 15, 2011) as more than 500 gathered in the University Theatre to mark the start of the 2011-2012 academic year.
"We remain steadfastly committed to both and, I might add, both are on a solid footing this morning. We must focus on retention and graduation. Student success must remain top priority. We must understand the obstacles students face in navigating the challenges of higher education."
While maintaining academic standards, LU must ensure that students get through the maze of issues they face and provide them with the information and support they need to succeed, Simmons said in his annual "state-of-the-university" address. Because of an 18 percent reduction in its state appropriation, Lamar must cut $15.4 million over the next two years. Measures to accomplish this include a hiring freeze on vacant positions, restructuring of some offices, holding the line on class sizes, more energy efficiency and other steps to "tighten our belts."
But, Simmons said, "In spite of state budget woes, good news is everywhere," citing Lamar's move to the Carnegie Classification of Doctoral Research University. In addition, he said, Lamar awards more master's degrees in chemical engineering and education than any university in the nation. And, thanks to the generosity of friends and supporters, LU has surpassed the $80 million mark in its $100 million comprehensive campaign – gifts that translate into scholarships, faculty enhancements and facilities.
"Lamar will not only survive this downturn, but I pledge that we will prosper during it," he said, because of enrollment, which stood at close to 14,000 as of Monday morning, as well as student success, outstanding faculty and staff and support from friends and alumni.
Simmons said the number of students attending Lamar this fall constitutes the highest on-campus enrollment ever – despite increased admission requirements. He reported waiting lists for residence halls and parking.
Lamar continues to add courses and programs: The university will enroll its first group of online Ed.D. students this fall and also offer a new online M.Ed. program in counseling. A new online RN-to-BSN program will begin in October.
"You can see why I say Lamar will prosper even during these difficult economic times," Simmons said.
Strategies for student success, Simmons said, begin with identifying, recruiting, engaging, educating, supporting, retaining and graduating students who will become "proud Lamar alumni." After careful study and consultation, he said, the university has moved to an approach based on strategic enrollment management.
"Gone are the days of sending students to many different offices to complete the process of enrollment. Instead, we are developing a simplified 'one-stop' enrollment process that puts a priority on service," Simmons said. "All facets of student success are our concern, and it is essential that every one of us work together to make a difference."
As associate vice president for strategic enrollment management, Sherry Benoit, formerly the university registrar, will oversee a team of enrollment managers that focuses on recruitment, admissions, financial assistance, retention, advisement, registration, enrollment research, academic services, marketing and student life.
"Goals will be strategic," Simmons said. "Decisions will be data-driven and quickly enacted – and each of us will be a key element in what will become a new campus culture."
Also at the convocation, officials introduced new faculty and staff members, while Simmons welcomed a contingent of legislators and leaders from The Texas State University System. State Senator Florence Shapiro, R-Plano, and TSUS Chancellor Brian McCall spoke to the assembly.
Simmons expressed thanks to three longtime Lamar executives who will retire Aug. 31: Barry Johnson, vice president for student affairs; Dale Fontenot, chief of police; and Billy Tubbs, special assistant/consultant to the president for athletics.

M.L. King Jr. - His Story Was In the Past!
Lesson 5 of 6
Objective: SWBAT apply word analysis skills to identify and decode past tense verbs.
- Martin's Big Words by Doreen Rappoport
- Lesson vocabulary words from the Reading/Writing word wall: informational text, words, quote, picture
- Set up the whiteboard
- Verbs worksheet
- ML King Jr coloring page for the project
- computer and screen to create a ABCYa word puzzle (if you haven't made one before, take a moment and practice this website with a list of words, some that repeat)
I chose this text because it is at the second grade level and has great illustrations and wording. The book has direct quotes from Martin, as well as language that is simple enough for the students to understand. The concepts are a little more mature, but second graders should be able to understand with discussion. Our class lesson about this book led to higher level concepts such as 'discrimination' and 'equality'.
This lesson is an example of why I believe the Common Core Standards make sense. I'm integrating a Social Studies topic into reading lesson and writing lessons. Instead of reading about a random concept, why not read and write about those topics that you're studying? With this emphasis on using literature to learn about and reinforce the other academic areas, my students are getting a cross-curricular experience and I am able to 'fit in' all the subjects during the school day.
There is also a nice video of this book read aloud with music. This might be a great follow up at the end of the lesson or for the next day.

Let's Get Excited!
Underlined words below are lesson vocabulary words that are emphasized and written on sentence strips for my Reading & Writing word wall. I pull off the words off the wall for each lesson, helping students understand this key 'reading and writing' vocabulary can be generalized across texts and topics. The focus on acquiring and using these words is part of a shift in the Common Core Standards towards building students' academic vocabulary. My words are color coded 'pink' for literature/'blue' for reading strategies/'orange' for informational text/'yellow' for writing/'green' for all other words)
Common starting point
- "Today we are going to read an informational text about a person who lived in the past. How do you think the author shows that this person lived in the past with his words?" Take ideas - uses words from the past, ideas from the past, PROMPT with "uses verbs with past tense"
- "Verbs show the action. Past tense verbs show us that the author is talking about events or actions in the past. If I was talking about what I did yesterday, I would use words like 'walked' 'talked' 'slept'." (use a variety of regular and irregular past tense words.)
- These are some of the verb examples that I had on the board.
- "This is a great book because it has some unique text features. There are quotes from Martin, as well as some great pictures." Here's my review of the text features.
The focus on verb tense is a common one for second grade. Identifying, changing and spelling verbs with regular and irregular tense can be difficult. (L.2.1d) Students at this level typically use verbs expressively but struggle, at times, to fluently read them through the text. Writing a story with consistent verb tenses is also a challenge for second graders. I'll be following up this lesson with a unit on about writing narratives, which will use past tense verbs to describe the life of M. L King, Jr..

Teacher's Turn
Give the purpose of the lesson
- "Looking at past tense verbs can help us decode some words we may not know. Also, when we read a text, it sounds more fluent or smooth if we realize that many verbs are past tense."
- "Today we'll identify words in a story that show past tense. Then we'll figure out if they are 'regular' or 'irregular' and what the 'root word' is."
- "The 'root word' is the word that the word starts from - the root or basic word."
- "A regular verb is one that you add an -ed to make it past tense - such as 'walked' or 'joined' or 'jumped'."
- "An irregular verb is one that you change to make it past tense, such as 'ate' or 'read' or 'drank'."
Introduce strategy - teacher models
- "Since you noticed that my verbs are regular (have -ed) or are irregular (do not have -ed), I'll read and look for words to put in the list. I'll write the root word under the word to help me know the meaning."
- Read up to the page that says, "Martin grew up..." and say the words. Are the verbs 'regular' (have an 'ed') or 'irregular' (the verb changes)?
- Write the words in the column. Talk aloud about how root words help you figure out the meaning of a word."
- The verbs are:
- remembered, listened, used
- saw, were, said, read, felt, told, sang, became, heard
- "Let me go back and read fluently and smoothly with those words. Notice how it sounds when I pronounce these words clearly. It's easier to read because I know they'll be past tense verbs."
- This is the how the whiteboard looked when we were done.
Practice strategy - guided practice
- "Help me figure out what the next few verbs are. If I'm not sure of some words, we can think about the 'root word' of the verb."
- Read through the page that says, "He studied the teaching of Mahatma Gandhi."
- "What verbs do you hear? Are they regular or irregular?"
- grew, became, heard, won
- used, studied, learned
- Here's a demonstration of this guided practice.
- "Does someone want to volunteer to read that aloud so we can hear those past tense verbs clearly?"
- Here is a look at the completed whiteboard.
Resources (3)
Students Take a Turn
Assign Task
- "I'm going to show the pages on the Elmo and see if you can find some more verbs. Let's make a list and see if we can decode or figure out the meaning of some words."
- "As we work, I'm going to ask you some questions about the words. What does that word mean in that sentence?"
Work as a class
- Read through the book (page by page) on the Elmo.
- Take time to discuss some of the great vocabulary in this book - the illustrations are not that helpful, but the use of root words (protested, admired, convincing) will really help the kids to understand the topic and ideas.
- There's also great figurative language - use the time to discuss that verbage.
- Give students time to write verbs and the root words. Help as needed. This is how it looked when I was correcting a student's answers.
- This is an example of one of my student's completed worksheet.
- I did some formative assessment as my students worked. I like to ask them how and why they make choices and see if they can verbalize why they picked certain words. Here is an example of a student reflecting on her verb choices and how they help her..
As students focus on these words, they are defining vocabulary and determining the meaning of words and phrases relevant to a 2nd grade topic (RI.2.4). As students learn how to decode words, they are learning how to draw on their own abilities to learn and read, a shift in the Common Core Standards.
**This is a great read aloud that you can use a 'voice' for. The writing sounds poetic and it will encourage the students to hear the beauty of the author's words. The text level is 2.5, so it is within the students' reading level, but I still like to read it myself to the kids as I put it on the Elmo.

Share What You've Learned
Share what you know
- Now that we've read about this man and the many things he did, we need to think about how some of these verbs really describe his life."
- "Take a minute and circle 5 verbs that you think really describe him. 'Went' would not be a good word because it's too general- pick verbs that show the facets of his life."
- "Take turns and tell me your verbs - I'm going to show you a cool way to show which words the class really felt described him - we'll make a word puzzle."
- Have the kids read the words as you type. Type all the words they say, even if they repeat. It will make the words on the puzzle bigger.
- Use the word creator website to make the puzzle. Here's our word puzzle.
- "So what do you think? These words really seem to describe this important man. I'm going to post this wordle with a picture of Martin Luther King Jr. It will show that our class thinks he is an important man!"
Scaffolding and Special Education: This lesson could be scaffolded up or down, depending on student ability.
Students with academic challenges will need help identifying verbs and whether they are regular or irregular. I would suggest putting some prompts on slates or the whiteboard to help them. They could also work with a partner for this section. They will be able to pick their 5 verbs and participate in the puzzle.
Students with more academic ability should also be challenged during the discussion about the more complex vocabulary. I would expect deeper thoughts to some of the questions posed, "Why does ML King talk about waiting?" or "How can love drive out hate?"

Singer Michelle Shocked Gives Anti-Gay Rant Onstage in San Francisco, Incites Walkout
"She began talking about the evils that will result if California's Proposition 8 is overturned."
A surplus of people vomit hateful vitriol daily — this isn't news. But there's certainly something surprising about the idea that a musician would choose a headlining gig in San Francisco as the time to go on an Internet-exploding, likely career-threatening rant against homosexuality. That artist is Michelle Shocked, a singer-songwriter active since the mid-eighties, who took the plunge into what one concertgoer called "full hate speech" on Sunday night at a venue called Yoshi's. "I live in fear that the world will be destroyed if gays are allowed to marry," Shocked reportedly said onstage during a second set.
The 51-year-old singer who calls herself "the most sophisticated hillbilly you ever met" also "cited verses from the Old Testament condemning homosexuality, first in English and then, puzzlingly, in Spanish," Yahoo reports. "She even told the crowd that they 'could go on Twitter and say "Michelle Shocked says God hates fags,"' although that particular line was interpreted differently by some on hand, as either ironic or completely sincere." While there's some hearsay, it's clear something uncomfortable did go down, with much of the audience walking out. "The operator of Yoshi's interrupted Shocked's performance to announce that, as a gay man, he could not allow the show to continue and she would have to leave the stage," Yahoo adds. Most of Michelle Shocked's forthcoming concerts have been canceled by the promoters and venues.

Actor Shia Labeouf filmed himself high on acid as he prepared to play a drug addict in new drama The Necessary Death Of Charlie Countryman and sent tapes of his antics to his co-star Evan Rachel Wood.
The Transformers star previously confessed to going to extremes for the new job in an effort to understand his troubled character, and he reveals he kept film footage of his drug trips so he could review his behavior with pals when he was sober.
LaBeouf tells MTV.com, "I remember sending Evan tapes. I remember trying to conjure this (drug-addicted character) and sending tapes and Evan being like, 'Yeah, that's good, but that's not, but this is, but that ain't (sic).' Not like she's the expert on set. I'm just saying you reach out to friends and you sort of gauge where you're at. So I was sending tapes around."
It took LaBeouf a few acid attempts to nail his performance, but he insists he was never "wasted" on set.
He adds, "You don't show up wasted. You don't show up completely tripping on acid. But you're rooting for something (the feeling of being on drugs) and you're pushing yourself toward it. Everyone's got their own way."

Don't you just love Thanksgiving? It's the most guilt free holiday of the year. You don't have to worry about getting the right gifts or whether everything is decorated perfectly. You don't have to wonder whether you made enough cookies or whether the food is on your diet. You have permission and can eat to your heart's content! At times like this, I have to wonder: Have I died and gone to Heaven?!
There is one problem -- What happens when everyone rolls away from the table? You stand there in the shadows of mounds of leftovers and the guilt sets in. You really can't wedge in another bite, but you can't bring yourself to throw away all that good food. You know that there are people starving in Bangladesh, but you can't afford the shipping cost to send it to them... What do you do with it?
Here are some ideas from www.LivingOnADime.com to help you put those leftovers to good use and keep your clean conscience!
1. Mix gravy, cubed turkey and leftover vegetables into a casserole dish.
Top with refrigerator biscuits, leftover pie crust or crescent rolls (unbaked). Bake at 350 degrees until the dough is cooked and golden brown.
2. When making pies on Thanksgiving Day, save the extra dough or make extra to use to make pasties. Roll out discs of dough in whatever size you want and fill with meat, vegetables and leftover potatoes.
3. Don't forget to use your leftover relish dish. Chop and use in salads, soups or casseroles. If you're really sick of the vegetables, chop and freeze to use later.
4. Use leftover mashed potatoes to thicken soups and stews.
5. Make potato pancakes: Add 1 egg and 2 Tbsp. flour to 2 cups mashed potatoes. Make into patties and fry in a pan with margarine.
1 1/2 cups carrots, chopped
1 Tbsp. water
4 Tbsp. butter or margarine
2 chicken bouillon cubes
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2-1 lb. ground beef, turkey or chicken, cooked
salt and pepper (to taste)
Use leftover pie crust or use the following recipe:
1 cup shortening
1/4 tsp. salt
3 cups flour
6 Tbsp. water
In a saucepan, simmer the carrots in the water, butter, and chicken bouillon cubes. Add potatoes, onion, meat and salt and pepper. Divide into fourths.
Mix dough ingredients and roll into four 10-inch circles. Put the meat mixture on one side of the dough. Fold the other half of the dough over and seal with fingers or a fork. Bake 1 hour at 375 degrees. Serves 4-6.
You can also add other vegetables. This is a good way to use those leftovers, so be creative!

UEFA Champions League: Juventus v Copenhagen
Juventus will look to kick-start their UEFA Champions League campaign by replicating their domestic form against Copenhagen on Wednesday.
Antonio Conte's men failed to win any of their first four games in Europe's premier club competition and sit bottom of Group B with three points.
However, thanks mainly to the dominance of runaway pool leaders Real Madrid - who have taken 10 points from their four games, scoring 14 goals in the process - Juve are still just one point behind Galatasaray and Copenhagen.
That means the Italian champions could end matchday five in control of their own destiny in terms of reaching the last 16, as a home victory over the Danes - coupled with a defeat for Galatasaray at the Bernabeu - would put them second with just one game remaining.
And Conte's side are sure to head into the crucial fixture high on confidence too, after Juve moved to the summit of Serie A by recording their fifth straight league win with a 2-0 success at Livorno on Sunday.
Fernando Llorente continued his rich vein of form by opening the scoring with his third goal in as many games at club level, before the Spaniard's strike partner Carlos Tevez ended a run of three matches without scoring to seal the points.
Juve have not won in their last three home Champions League games, but are unbeaten in 12 in all competitions on their own patch, a run stretching back to last season's quarter-final defeat by Bayern Munich.
Copenhagen, meanwhile, head to Turin buoyed by their 1-0 victory over Galatasaray on matchday four.
Stale Solbakken's team have not lost in six games in all competitions and comprehensively overcame Viborg 4-1 in their last Superliga fixture on Sunday, with forward Igor Vetokele scoring twice to take his tally to seven for the season.
Juve needed a second-half equaliser from Fabio Quagliarella to take a point from the reverse match at Parken in September, but the Danish champions have conceded seven goals in their away games at Real and Galatasaray this term.

Product DetailsAlthough not as well known as Pillow Talk (1959), this romantic-comedy pairing of stars Rock Hudson and Doris Day earned an Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay. Hudson stars as Jerry Webster, a Madison Avenue advertising executive who has achieved success not through hard work or intelligence but by wining and dining his big-shot clients, even setting them up on dates with attractive girls. Jerry's equal at a rival agency is Carol Templeton (Day). Although she has never met him, Carol is disgusted by Jerry's unethical antics and reports him to the Ad Council. Jerry avoids trouble with his usual aplomb, sending a comely chorus girl, Rebel Davis (Edie Adams), to seduce the council members. When Jerry subsequently makes Rebel the star of television commercials for a nonexistent product called VIP, the spots are accidentally aired by perplexed company president Pete Ramsey (Tony Randall). Carol becomes determined to win the VIP account away from Jerry, but after she discovers the truth, she again reports him to the Ad Council. Jerry skirts out of trouble a second time by producing VIP, an intoxicating candy quickly whipped up by company research scientist Linus Tyler (Jack Kruschen). VIP's extreme effects lead to a one-night stand between bitter rivals Jerry and Carol, with unexpected consequences.

Hooksett planning skating rink on school-owned pondBy BRENDAN CLOGSTON
Union Leader Correspondent

HOOKSETT - Weather-willing, Hooksett skaters and hockey players are set to have a free rink to enjoy this winter. The town of Hooksett and the Hooksett School District are planning to open Hannah-Ho-Hee Pond as a public skating rink as conditions allow.
The Department of Public Works is still in the planning process with the Hooksett School District, which owns the pond, so details are scarce on how large the rink will be or how it will be laid out. No opening date has been decided, as it will depend on the weather in the coming months.
One detail that is clear is that the Hannah-Ho-Hee Pond will be a bigger rink than the town has provided in the past.
Last winter, after hearing requests from residents for a public ice rink in town, the town asked the Department of Public Works to open a skating rink in the parking lot of Donati Field. The rink was well-received and utilized, but suffered from space issues. For this winter, the town began researching its options for other venues, and realized that Hannah-Ho-Hee Pond had been used as a skating pond.
"We're going to bring back the past," said Town Administrator Dean Shankle, who announced the project at last week's town council meeting.
The town made a request to the school district to use the land. Superintendent Phil Littlefield, who called the project a "wonderful idea" in a letter to Shankle, approved the request.
"I think it's a great initiative," said Littlefield. "They approached me for permission to use the pond, and we jumped at it. It's just a great community effort. We are all a part of the same community to the extent that municipal government and school government are on the same page and moving in the same direction, and the people who live here benefit from that."
The town will maintain the rink and build a path to allow safe access.
The current plan is for at least a skating area and a hockey area. As with last year's rink at Donati Park, access will be free to the public.
Hannah-Ho-Hee Pond is located next to the Hooksett Memorial School on 5 Memorial Drive, off Route 3.

Call a licensed, highly rated electrician. Your home's circuit breakers are crucial safety devices and they're working as designed, says Paul Hampton, owner of A-1 Electric Co. Inc., a highly rated electrician in Warren, N.J., who services northern New Jersey.
"The circuit breaker's job is to keep wires from overheating," he says. "If it receives more power than it can handle, it shuts down to prevent any fire hazard."
Most kitchen and bathroom appliances are heating or cooling devices, so they require more electricity. Despite being on separate outlets, it's likely that your appliances are on the same circuit.
Hal Chinevere, owner of highly rated Irwin Electric in Lincoln, Calif., which services Sacramento, says there are several solutions.
"The current National Electric Code calls for a 20-amp circuit dedicated to the microwave only," he says, adding the project usually costs about $300, but homeowners should get an estimate first.
Hampton says an easy way to solve the problem is to ensure the appliances use different circuits. However, Chinevere advises that if there are other issues, such as repeated power losses, main breaker trips, or a service panel that hums or arcs, it's likely you need to replace the entire panel. He estimates that work would cost $1,400 to $1,600 on average, plus permit fees; Hampton puts the work in the $1,500 to $3,500 price range.

CLEMSON — The Atlantic Coast Conference's first top-five matchup since a 2005 Miami-Virginia Tech game didn't happen accidentally. Dabo Swinney and Jimbo Fisher revived the Clemson and Florida State programs with good coaching staffs and better recruiting, the Tigers slipped by Georgia and ESPN gave the ACC a big assist with scheduling advice.
Attempting to spread the juiciest matchups among college football Saturdays, ESPN vice president of programming Ilan Ben-Hanan told the ACC in early January that Oct. 19 was an ideal date for maximum Florida State at Clemson impact.
"In the end," Ben-Hanan said this week, "the ACC controls its schedule, but what we do is tell them, 'Hey, look, there are certain dates where if you want to put a higher profile game there, and based on where our schedule is coming together, we might be able to give it a higher profile window than usual.' "
It all "came to fruition," as Ben-Hanan said. ESPN's "GameDay" is in town. The first top-five matchup of the season is set for an ESPN-produced ABC prime-time telecast.
"Every week is not created equal," Ben-Hanan said. "If there's a week when a lot of other high-profile games are being played, you don't want one of the ACC's marquee games to get lost in the shuffle."
Nice ESPN/ACC teamwork. Not so much in Pigskin Picks, where I disagree with Warren Peper, who hopes to extend his two-game season lead.

Seems that both Motorola and Google have interest in seeing the Linux mobile footprint evolve. With a combined contribution of $20,000, they are focusing on major changes for GNOME 3. "It will be more than a tweak," Stormy Peters stated. "It will be the whole user experience, from the look and feel, to how files are managed to how it syncs with your mobile phone -- really the whole package. It will be very much a change for users and how they use their computers."

The Department of English offers programs leading to the M.A., M.F.A., and Ph.D. degrees with areas of emphasis in English and American literature (M.A. and Ph.D.), composition and rhetoric (M.A. and Ph.D.), and speech communication (M.A.). The department also offers joint master's degrees with the School of Library and Information Science (M.A./M.L.I.S.) and the Moore School of Business (M.A./M.S.). The M.A.T. and I.M.A. degrees in English are offered in cooperation with the College of Education. Interdisciplinary affiliations with African American Studies, Southern Studies, and Women's Studies increase the range of course options and research opportunities within degree programs.
As the number and variety of degree programs suggest, our graduates pursue careers in many fields, including college- and university-level teaching, public and private secondary education, librarianship, publishing, creative and technical writing, journalism, public relations, and business administration. Graduates of our doctoral programs are especially well qualified for academic careers, and they enter tenure-track positions upon graduation at a rate consistently higher than the national average.
Applicants for admission to the M.A., M.F.A., or Ph.D. degree programs in the Department of English must have completed a minimum of 24 semester hours of upper-division undergraduate courses in English or an appropriate related discipline, with grades indicating ability for successful graduate work in the department. Applicants for all degrees must submit all application forms required by The Graduate School, satisfactory scores on the GRE general test, a sample of academic writing, a statement of purpose, and at least two satisfactory letters of recommendation from persons familiar with their academic achievement. The GRE subject test of literature in English is required of applicants to the M.A. and Ph.D. programs in English and American literature or composition and rhetoric.
Successful applicants to the M.A., M.A.T., and M.F.A. programs typically have GRE verbal scores in the 500-700 range, GRE analytical scores in the 3-5 range, and an undergraduate GPA of 3.00 or better. Students admitted to the Ph.D. program generally have GRE verbal and analytical scores of 600 and above and a GPA of 3.50 or better in their master's degree course work. These numbers are provided as guidelines; we do not set absolute cut-off scores. All parts of an application are carefully considered, with especially close attention given to the writing sample.
An applicant who lacks adequate undergraduate course work may have to take up to 12 credit hours of 400-level literature or communication courses (depending on the degree emphasis sought) before the application will be considered.
Application deadlines are February 15 for those wishing to be considered for graduate assistantships and April 15 for all others.
Residence and other basic requirements for degrees in English are established by The Graduate School. Special requirements established by the department are outlined below.
Graduate credit for degree candidates in English normally is restricted to courses numbered 700 or above. Qualified graduate students may enroll in courses numbered 500-699 with the approval of the department's director of graduate studies and may receive graduate credit by doing such additional work as required by the department and the instructor. The chair of the department may authorize students in other departments or schools to obtain graduate credit in most English courses numbered 500-699.
The student must select one of the following areas for concentration: English literature before 1660, English literature after 1660, or American literature. Requirements include:
1. one course in American literature, one in English literature before 1660, one in English literature after 1660, and one additional course in the exam area (12 hours);
2. five electives (two may be taken outside the department; ENGL 700 and 732 are recommended) (15 hours);
3. a comprehensive exam covering one of the three areas of concentration;
4. thesis, ENGL 799 (3 hours);
5. a reading knowledge of one foreign language.
Requirements include:
1. ENGL 790 and 791 (6 hours);
2. two courses from the following: ENGL 690* (see workshop course restrictions below), 792, 793, 794, 795, 890 (6 hours);
3. English and/or American literature, 700-800 level* (6 hours);
4. linguistics (must be approved by the Composition and Rhetoric Committee) (6 hours);
5. electives (must be approved by the Composition and Rhetoric Committee) (6 hours);
6. a three-hour written comprehensive exam on composition and rhetoric; once candidates have taken 30 graduate credits in this M.A. program (including any credits transferred from other institutions), they must take the M.A. exam before being allowed to enroll for more graduate credits; the exam may be taken no more than twice;
7. reading knowledge of a foreign language;
8. thesis, ENGL 799 (3 hours).
*Neither ENGL 701A and 701B nor more than one workshop course may be counted in the 30 hours of classroom credits; students wishing to emphasize technical writing should consult the graduate director about special conditions.
1. four courses in theory or history of the discipline (12 hours);
2. two courses in criticism and research methods (6 hours);
3. three electives within the Department of English (9 hours);
4. thesis, SPCH 799 (3 hours);
5. written comprehensive examination.
*Pending C.H.E. approval.
Eligibility for admission is limited to those persons seeking initial certification. The M.A.T. degree is for South Carolina certification in secondary English, and a candidate must satisfy the requirements for that certification in order to receive the degree.
In addition to fulfilling requirements for admission common to all degree programs, an applicant to the M.A.T. program must have at least 18 semester hours of the following 400-level literature courses or their equivalent, including Black literature (ENGL 428--may be taken after conditional admission); contemporary literature (ENGL 413 or 423); Shakespeare's tragedies (ENGL 405); a non-Western literature; and 6 credits in survey-type, upper-division English and/or American literature survey courses. Applicants without a standard English major may fulfill this 18-semester-hour requirement only by taking upper-division courses that the Department of English M.A.T. advisor approves.
Applicants with an unsatisfactory test score or a marginal undergraduate record have a chance to be admitted conditionally and will have to take certain upper-division (400-level) English courses to make up for this undergraduate deficiency.
1. A minimum of 30 graduate credits, with at least 15 graduate credits in English. In some cases a candidate who has taken undergraduate courses in education may use one of those courses to satisfy the overall education course requirements. The undergraduate courses are ENGL 447, 473, and 484.
2. Since all candidates must qualify for a South Carolina secondary English certificate in order to qualify for the English M.A.T. degree, all candidates must take, or have already taken, the specific courses required for that certificate. These are advanced composition, modern grammar, the development of modern English (the history of the English language), adolescent literature, and literary criticism. Such courses will be in addition to the minimum 15 graduate credits in English used to satisfy the English course requirements in the degree program. These certificate-required courses may be taken at the undergraduate level, and some of them are offered through Distance Education.
The I.M.A. degree for secondary-school teachers is designed for college graduates who already hold a professional certificate in the teaching field in which they wish to earn the master's degree or who are academically certifiable by virtue of course work previously earned. Upon completion of the I.M.A. degree program, recipients will be eligible for a South Carolina Class I certificate in the teaching area. Major emphasis in this program is placed on course work in the teaching area.
1. nine hours in professional education;
2. twenty-one hours in English;
3. three-hour elective in either English or education.
The joint master's program is a 55-hour program leading to an M.A. in English and a Master of Library and Information Science. It is administered by a joint committee, which recommends students for admission and approves their programs. Admission is only to the joint program. Neither degree will be awarded separately. If students wish to change from the joint program to the regular degree program in English or library and information science, they must reapply to the particular program they wish to enter.
1. ENGL 700 (3 hours);
2. one course from each of five course groups (15 hours);
3. one course in an allied field (3 hours);
e.g., ENGL 776, ENGL 870-872, HIST 790;
4. two elective courses (6 hours);
5. ENGL 799 (thesis) (1 hour);
6. a reading knowledge of one foreign language.
1. LIBR 701, 702, 703, 704, 705, 706 (18 hours);
2. library and information science electives (9 hours).
To enter the program the student must successfully complete 24 hours of English courses beyond the lower-division level and/or complete the major or cognate in business administration. The student must also have satisfactory scores on the GRE Subject Test in English and the GMAT exam for business administration. A personal interview or letter explaining why one wishes to enroll in the joint program is also required. Admission is only to the joint program. Neither degree will be awarded separately.
The student must choose one of three options within the program: poetry, fiction, or writing for the media. In addition to all the basic requirements for admission to the graduate English program, applicants must submit a writing sample in the genre that they wish to pursue (25 pages of fiction or writing for the media; at least 12 poems).
1. 15 hours of workshop courses;
2. 6 hours in theory (three of these hours may be in the theory and teaching of composition);
3. 9 hours in literature;
4. 9 hours of approved electives;
5. thesis, ENGL 799 (6 hours);
6. a three-hour written comprehensive examination in the history and practice of the student's genre;
7. a thesis, which will be a book-length work (a novel, a collection of short stories, a group of poems, or a piece of writing for the visual media) of a quality that compares favorably with work being published by university presses and commercial publishers;
8. an oral examination on the thesis;
9. a reading knowledge of one foreign language.
For admission, the applicant must have a master's degree or its equivalent. Each candidate must have a major and minor field. The major field may be chosen from the following: Medieval, Renaissance, Restoration and 18th-century English literature, 19th-century English literature, 20th-century English literature, colonial and 19th-century American literature, 20th-century American literature. The following may be used for the minor field only: linguistics, comparative literature, criticism theory, women's studies, history of the book and authorship, composition and rhetoric, and Southern literature. Students may choose to design an ad hoc minor, subject to approval by the Graduate Program Committee. Examples of ad hoc minors approved in the past include religion and literature, children's literature, and computers and literature.
Admission by the Department of English for graduate study does not mean admission as a candidate in the English and American literature Ph.D. program. Students are admitted to such candidacy on the basis of their record and a written qualifying exam; the exam is the section of the M.A. comprehensive exam in literature relevant to their chosen major field. Students should take this qualifying exam no later than the semester in which they are taking their 15th hour of course work. A student is allowed only two attempts to pass the admission-to-candidacy exam. Students in the M.A. program who apply to and are accepted into the Ph.D. program may request to have their M.A. exams reread as a Ph.D. qualifying exam. In such a case, the reread will count as one attempt. M.A. exams will not be read for Ph.D. qualifying purposes unless or until the student has been accepted into the Ph.D. program.
1. in consultation with the doctoral advisory committee (in place by the end of the first semester of course work), each student develops a program of study that includes at least two 800-level seminars and one class in critical theory (ENGL 732, 734, or its equivalent); ENGL 700 is also recommended (24 hours, exclusive of ENGL 701 A and B);
2. a comprehensive exam that consists of two written exams, one in the major field and one in the minor field;
3. an oral exam covering the student's major field;
4. 12 hours of dissertation preparation;
5. a reading knowledge of two foreign languages or one language satisfied by taking a 400-level course of literature, not in translation, with a grade of B or better, or a 500-level course of literature, not in translation, with a grade of C or better; these courses may not be used to fulfill the elective requirement. Completion of ENGL 702 and 703 with an average grade of B or better may fulfill one foreign language requirement.
1. ENGL 790 and 791 (6 hours);
2. two courses from ENGL 792, 793, 794 (6 hours);
3. linguistics (3 hours);
4. human learning processes (3 hours);
5. ENGL 700 (3 hours);
6. ENGL 690 or 795 (3 hours);
7. English and/or American literature, 700-800 level (may include literary theory) (12 hours);
8. specialization (to be approved by the department's Committee on Composition and Rhetoric and the graduate director) (12 hours);
9. eight-hour written comprehensive exam in composition and rhetoric and the field of specialization; (Once a candidate has taken 48 credits in this Ph.D. program [including courses accepted in lieu of specific course requirements], the candidate must take the Ph.D. exam before being allowed to enroll for more graduate credits as a candidate in the program. This exam may be taken no more than twice.)
10. oral comprehensive exam; (This exam may be taken no more than twice.)
11. a reading knowledge of two foreign languages or one language satisfied by taking a 400-level course of literature, not in translation, with a grade of B or better, or a 500-level course of literature, not in translation, with a grade of C or better;
12. at least one year's experience teaching English composition at the school or college level;
13. dissertation and defense, ENGL 899 (12 hours).
Admission to candidacy. Admission by the Department of English for graduate study does not mean admission as a candidate in the composition and rhetoric Ph.D. program. Students are admitted to such candidacy on the basis of their record and a written qualifying exam--the M.A. three-hour comprehensive exam in composition and rhetoric. A student who passes this exam for the M.A. degree may or may not have done well enough on the exam to be admitted to Ph.D. candidacy.
Students with a master's degree from other institutions must take this exam no later than the semester in which they are taking their 15th hour of course work or, if attending summer sessions only, no later than the second summer of study. An applicant may take this exam no more than twice, including the exam for the M.A.
The 48 semester hours of postbaccalaureate graduate course work are the equivalent of two years (four semesters) of full-time graduate study. The Department of English may therefore substitute up to 24 credits of this 48-credit requirement on a course-by-course basis for students with master's-level course work.

In 2013 Bowdoin implemented Polaris, a new student information system (SIS) that replaced Bearings and Recruitment Plus (software used by Admissions). Polaris is comprised of Ellucian's portfolio of products, including Banner which is used by several of our peer institutions.
Polaris enables us to engage in new practices that facilitate more effective advising, support academic student planning, and aid faculty and staff in more effective curriculum planning. The processes around admission, course registration, course offerings, and grade submission, among others, have new automated and online components, increasing efficiency as well as efficacy.
If you have any questions about Polaris or its implementation at Bowdoin, contact the project manager, Abbie Brown.
